Columbus firefighter is honored

The Columbus Crew and visiting FC Dallas paused before their scoreless draw to support the recovery of a firefighter who went into cardiac arrest after a lightning strike in the southwest parking lot of Crew Stadium.

The teams were scheduled to play Saturday night, but their match was rescheduled after Stu Tudor might have been hit during a pregame storm. The 54-year-old lieutenant in the Columbus Fire Department is in critical condition in the intensive care unit of a hospital.

Fans held up signs in support of Tudor, who was off duty at the time of the lightning strike.

“Here you have a man like that who saves lives on a regular basis, who comes out on his off day to see us play,” Crew forward Justin Meram said. “For something like that to happen to him, we’re hoping for the best for him and his family.”

Tracy Smith, fire department battalion chief, said it is not known if Tudor was struck directly but added Tudor had to be resuscitated.

Teams prepare for free agency

League teams are about to go shopping, and they will have less money to spend than they might have thought a few days ago.

After 210 players were taken in the two-day draft that started Friday, teams will have more decisions to make, and they don’t have a lot of time. Free agency begins in earnest Tuesday.

The ceiling for next season’s salary cap was set Friday at $69 million — up from $64.3 million. That number is a million or two lower than some projections had it after a year of record revenues.

“We all expected it to be higher,” New York Rangers general manager Glen Sather said.

Meanwhile, the Buffalo Sabres have bought out 31-year-old defenseman Christian Ehrhoff’s contract, making him an unrestricted free agent.
